<p id="pa01" num="0001">A door assembly (20) for an appliance includes a door (24) having an interior side (26) and an exterior side (28). The door is operable between an open position and a closed position. An ice maker (34) is adjacent to the interior side of the door when the door is in the closed position. A frame (36) defines an aperture (38) extending from the interior side to the exterior side. An ice bucket (40) is disposed in the aperture and is operable between a lowered position, wherein a reservoir portion of the bucket is accessible when the door is closed, and a raised position, wherein the reservoir portion (44) of the bucket is inaccessible when the door is closed. An ice dispenser (48) is disposed below the ice bucket.
